FAQ

I've been getting a lot of questions via email so I thought I'd create this FAQ for the curious.

What have you been doing these last twenty years?

Once the initial part of faking my death was over, it was very easy to just "disappear." Plenty of people do this and are reported by their families as missing, only to show up weeks or months later. The trick was staying away for so long. For the stunt to be successful, I had to go away for a very, very long time. I figured twenty years was a good, round number that was long enough and would be totally legendary. I've been keeping a low profile, traveling the world, working odd jobs and practicing transcendental meditation.

How can we be sure this is the real Andy Kaufman?

How do you ever know anything is really what you think it is? It would take a DNA or fingerprint sample to prove that I am the real Andy Kaufman, which I’m more than willing to do if need be. I’m sure there would even be doubters if I did that. People will believe what they want to believe. I’ve spoken to my parents and a few old colleagues, like Bob Zmuda. You can ask them if I’m the real deal.

Why did you lie to all of us, you bastard?

It was the only way to seal my status in history as a legendary performance artist. I want to be remembered for so much more than having played Latka on Taxi. The worst part was lying to my family and closest friends.

How did you fake your death certificate?

That was surprisingly easy. I had a friend who worked at the hospital who helped grease the wheels at Cedars-Sinai to pronounce me dead and sneak me out of the hospital. Once the first wheel was set into motion, everything else just fell into place as people believed what they were told by someone else.

What are your plans now that you’re back?

I don’t plan on returning to the media limelight. I might make an impromptu appearance here or there. I’ve grown accustomed to my new life and will likely maintain it instead of plunging back into the twisted world of Hollywood. It sounds boring and cliché by now, but the world is my stage. My biggest fans always knew this. They were in on the charade all along.

How can I reach you?

Email: andykaufmanreturns@hotmail.com

Where are you living?

I do travel quite a bit, and have lived in these places and more: Aruba, NYC, Key West, the Philippines, various rural Texas towns, throughout the Caribbean, and many more. I’m not going to put my current location, as it will probably change every few months as I go exploring.

Rand's question is my own, what did you think of Jim Carrey's interpertation of you? And your former colleague Danny Devito playing Bob in the movie?

Meanwhile Jen's got a good question that I thought was a good point to make about faking your ID... I'm not trying to express doubt over this but I think this would be an incredible homage to Andy/you if it indeed was faked...

It's surreal how you sound exactly like a twenty-something IT employee, and all of this reads exactly like every other internet hoax.. I was hoping that your wit was going to be exponential with your age, and if you really were alive, the human mind would implode just from having read your word. But for whatever reason, the inner lining of my skull seems to have remained intact.

Why would you have a hotmail account? Why would you decide to come back via a blog site? If you wanted to get the news out of your return to life, why not just go straight to a major network, or even Letterman, and announce the hoax there? Last question, why would your only evidence of being alive be photos of you as the character that you were known as sharing with Zamuda?

I'm sorry for this, like I said, I would love to know that you were alive and doing well, but there just simply isn't enough proof to satisfy most of the visitors to this blog. If it is true, I hope you are doing well.

I think the biggest prank in the world is making everyone believe, not just speculate that Andy Kauffman has come back from the dead. Even if you just spread a rumour that "you" were dead at the hospital and had someone sneak you out, that doesn't account for the missing body. Now that, would have been a scandal!

If you did not really die, who is buried in your grave? Is anyone buried in your grave? Did you actually think about that when you were planning this whole thing out...I suppose if people needed real proof they can dig into it and run tests on the body to find out if it's really you...

I'd love to hear more details on how you managed to carry the whole thing out. Then maybe I can really start believing. I hardly got to sleep last night because my boyfriend and I were debating if it's really you. Thanks, Andy.

Hi! The movie of you, The Man On The Moon, was shown only a week ago on TV here in Finland. It was the second time I saw the movie and I cried my eyes off (again) in the funeral scene. And now you're alive! I can't believe this.

Andy, I don't care what others say, I believe this is true and so do a lot of people I know and not just because we're ignorant. The only way this will work will be if people retain faith. Faith in God makes him real so why not our beloved Andy?

hehe. man . i cant imagine seeing andy kaufman in rural texas. maybe in some like sparesly lived in area of the philipines....

you know what you should do if this is the real andy kaufman? get someone to go onto a TV show pretending they were you and then have them revealed during the show.

like the thing with tony clifton. i know your not supposed to do the same trick twice, but your not a magician so why not. anyways houdini only died when he did a trick twice, and so what is there to go wrong?

I never believed you were dead for a second. The best prankster in the world dead, no way. Ever since the age of 10 when I saw Lourl and Hardy for the first time, I new I wanted to entertain. I was always told I had an oddball sence of humor and that I should just get a day job. And so I did untill Man On The Moon came out. I wondered who is this guy Andy Kauffman. Seeing you gave me the courage to do what Ive always wanted. Although Im not gettin paid yet Ill never give up what I love to do. Thanks for giving me the courage to entertain.

Hello "Andy" I am John Lennon, George Harrison and Elvis all rolled into one. I thought you of all people would be interested in this. Maybe we can work together? You or Anyone that wants to hear these people alive and well should email, angelcheesy@hotmail.com

Help me Dude, I think I'm lost..... I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw him in a car lot yesterday, which is really strange because the last time I saw him was in the supermarket. No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender". He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a San Diego cosmetic surgery doctor ,to fit into those blue suede shoes of yours. But Elvis said in the Ghetto nobody can afford a San Diego plastic surgery doctor. Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger. Then I'm gonna go round and see Michael Jackson and we're gonna watch a waaaay cool make-over show featuring some Tijuana dentists on the TV in the back of my Hummer. And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . . "You give me love and consolation,You give me strength to carry on " Strange day or what? :-)

A typical dictionary definition of hypnosis states that it is: a state that resembles sleep but that is induced by suggestion. However, anyone who has tried hypnosis (and any self respecting hypnotist) will tell you that this is a very simplistic view of the subject! A much better description comes from the Free Online Dictionary which states that hypnosis is: an artificially induced state of consciousness, characterised by heightened suggestibility and receptivity to direction. So what does this mean and how can it be used to your advantage?

Well, the subject of hypnosis has been discussed and pondered since the late 1700s. Many explanations and theories have come and gone though science, however, has yet to supply a valid and well-established definition of how it actually happens. It's fairly unlikely that the scientific community will arrive at a definitive explanation for hypnosis in the near future either, as the untapped resources of our 'mostly' uncharted mind still remain something of a mystery. However, the general characteristics of hypnosis are well documented. It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, deep relaxation and heightened imaginative functioning. It's not really like sleep at all, because the subject is alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling you get when you watch a movie or read a captivating book. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the outside world. Your focus is concentrated intensely on the mental processes you are experiencing - if movies didn't provide such disassociation with everyday life and put a person in a very receptive state then they would not be as popular (nor would TV advertising be as effective!). Have you ever stated that a film wasn't great because you just couldn't 'get into it'??? This works very simply; while daydream or watching a movie, an imaginary world becomes almost real to you because it fully engages your emotional responses. Such mental pursuits will on most occasions cause real emotional responses such as fear, sadness or happiness (have you ever cried at a sad movie, felt excited by a future event not yet taken place or shivered at the thought of your worst fear?). It is widely accepted that these states are all forms of self-hypnosis. If you take this view you can easily see that you go into and out of mild hypnotic states on a daily basis - when driving home from work, washing the dishes, or even listening to a boring conversation.
